Tokyo Game Show 2015 press conference schedule

What to expect when you’re expecting

Recommended Videos

Lord on a skateboard, Tokyo Game Show 2015: Hey, There’s Something to This Whole Mobile Gaming Thing is here to wash away industry sins with a waterfall of hype airdropped upon the unwashed masses. It tastes of Mountain Dew and will not make you clean. Try the mugicha instead. It’s refreshing.

So many questions will be answered. How does Konami plan to wring money out of people post-Phantom Pain? Will The Last Guardian manage back-to-back appearances? Does anyone still care about Final Fantasy XV? Will eating curry twice a day kill me this time? Capcom, where’s Deep Down and is Ono okay? Why won’t Sony give me Gravity Rush 2?

You can follow along with TGS on this page, on the homepage, @Destructoid, or give me your phone number and I’ll text you updates. I’ll be in Tokyo with Chris Carter, Brett Makedonski, and Niero to address these burning inquiries. Some of these will be answered in Sony’s kick off “press conferences” on September 15 (12AM pacific, 4PM Japan), before Tokyo Game Show opens on September 17. It should have the big news. We’ll cover it live and you can wake up to it. Time zones! Other companies have staggered, smaller stage shows throughout the weekend.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17

Okay, now we’re into detailed, fan-centric company streams, stage shows, and the like. Here is where we’re most likely to find tidbits about things, which may be interesting, and a tidbit about a bigger release is even closer to news. But completely new games? Doubtful. Credit Gematsu for many of these individual publisher itinerary translations. There are more things scheduled at the aforelinked page, but I’ve removed re-runs and less news-worthy events. (See: Atlus’ three-day Persona proceedings — and no, it’s not playable)
